Law firms and entrepreneurs have backed the launch of an online platform designed to facilitate group actions

Find Others, at findothers.com, allows consumers to look for other potential claimants, start their own campaign group, petition or find an appropriate lawyer, and saves law firms the expense of creating bespoke websites and onboarding tools.

It was founded by entrepreneurs Georgina Hollis and Amar Chauhan and supported by a £50,000 Solicitors Regulation Authority award as well as investment from Australian law firm Shine Justice and Brown Rudnick associate Razzaq Ahmed.

Ahmed said Find Others would ‘support group claims that might otherwise go unnoticed or fail to get going. That is the epitome of access to justice at its most basic level’.

Hollis said they were inspired by victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal and lawyers: ‘We realised that all of these people had no way of finding out that they weren’t the only one who had suffered this miscarriage of justice. We want to democratise the legal market.’
